by 19770-2.
* sie/class/account
Add support for new "Account" class to report system user
accounts.
* sie/class/device
Major revamp of Solaris hardware discovery. On Solaris 8 and later
SysInfo now uses libdevinfo(3) as primary discovery. Older
Solaris systems retain the older method of using KDT with OBP and
libdevinfo supplementing the KDT data.
* sie/class/device
Report more DevFiles for devices on Solaris 8 and later using
additional data gleamed from libdevinfo(3).
* sie/class/device
Add new "NodePath" and "CompatNames" properties to Device class.
* sie/class/device
Add new "GenericName" key flag to SID files for "device" lines.
This flag tells SysInfo not to use the device entry as the
canonical device name.
* sie/class/DevInfo
Change internal definition of DevInfo to remove DevSpec (Opaque_t)
and replace with explicit types DiskDriveData, NetIf, FrameBuffer,
Monitor, CpuInfo. This is required to cleanly autogenerate code
in other languages like Java. Externally this is transparent to
endusers.
* sie/class/general
Add new "OS License Key" to report the license key used to install
or authorize the OS itself. Windows is the only platform
supported at this time.
* sie/class/general
Add new "Description" attribute to contain a description of the
system.

Add new "Family" attribute for CpuInfo data. Currently supported
on X86/X64 systems with SMBIOS.
* sie/class/hardware
Add new "Family" attribute for CpuInfo data. Currently supported
on X86/X64 systems with SMBIOS.
* sie/class/jobs
Add support for new "Jobs" class. This class is a list of all
scheduled jobs/tasks that are scheduled to run automatically.
* sie/class/license
Add License class support on Windows. Registry is scanned for
license Keys. Currently supported are Microsoft and Adobe
products. Others may also work if Keys are not encoded and in a
commonly used Registry location.

Add new Category type to License with types APP and OS. Add KEY
as a new type for LicenseType. Add new attributes SoftVendor and
KeyEnc.
* sie/class/netif
Add IPv6 discovery support on MacOS X.
* sie/class/netif
Add IPv6 discovery on Solaris and AIX. Also we now use ifconfig
cmd for IPv4 discovery.

now obtained from ifconfig command for improved non-root data
discovery.
* sie/class/SoftInfo
Add SoftInfoCategory attribute to SoftInfo.
* sie/class/software
Add OS Install Date support on AIX.
* sie/class/software
Add CategoryType support on AIX.

Try to determine CategoryType of OSPKG or DOC for all packages by
default on Linux and Solaris by looking at Category.
* sie/class/software
Add support for discovering ISO 19770-2 (aka SWTAG) software tags.
All software which places a swtag file in the platform standard
location should be discovered and reported.
* sie/class/software
Add new SoftInfo attributes ID, EntitlementRequired,
LicenseStatus, LicenseStatusStr, ChannelName, ChannelType,
ChannelTypeStr, CustomerType, CustomerTypeStr, ReleaseDate,
ReleaseDateTime, VendorID. All of these are supported by the new
swtag function.
* sie/class/software
Add support for decoding and reporting Adobe License Key (Serial#)
values.
* sie/class/software
Improve editing of Software Name values to remove Version. We now
look to match SoftInfo->Version and SoftInfo->Name for "{digit}.".
This helps on Windows where sometimes Version="7.1" but "7.0" is
used in Name.
* sie/class/software
Add discovery and reporting of OS Install Time in the SoftInfo OS
entry under "InstDate". Supported on Windows only for now.
* sie/class/software
Create a SoftInfo entry for the OS itself. The SoftInfo entry is
usually the root (top) node of the software tree and as such will
(usually) be reported first. It also has a Category of "OS" to
identify it. Some of the information is a duplicate of what is
reported in class General. However, more subtle attributes going
forward will be reported in the SoftInfo entry.
* sie/class/software
Report License Key values for Microsoft products including Office.
* sie/class/software
The OS SoftInfo node now reports the "Product ID" on Windows.
* sie/class/software
Add new "CATEGORY" type as a SoftInfo EntryType value in addition
to existing PKG and PRODUCT.
* sie/class/software
Add new --swentrytype to restrict reporting to specified types
(pkg, product, category).

Boolean values are now reported in lowercase instead of uppercase
in order to be XSD compliant.
* sie/core
Add support for Linux on s390x (zSeries).
* sie/core
Changes to support build on Linux on PPC.
* sie/output
XML output for "netif" now places each address within an "address"
element to support multiple addresses per netif.
* ui/gui
Update SysInfo and MagniComp logos to latest versions.
######## BUG FIXES ########
* api
Fix parsing of Device parameters to use the first value found
instead of the last.
* build
Changed the product SUMMARY of each distribution to remove
"MagniComp" from name since it's already in VENDORNAME.
* build/configure
Fix several configure problems with printf attributes by switching
to AC_RUN_IFELSE.
* class/device
Fix discovery of NetIf's on Linux 2.6.30. Newer kernels do not
place the administrative name of a netif in the expected place in
/sys We now look for .../net/ethX.
* mcsysinfod
Change server such that a SEND command giving multiple class types
to return is run as a single result instead of once per class.
This allows XML results for multiple classes to be contained
within a single ... body.
* setup
Fix setup to check for new PrivRequired in each package to
determine if we should warn about whether install is being done
without root privs.
* setup
Don't prompt for license file install for mcsysinfo-sdk and
mcsysinfo-javasdk.
* setup
Look for LICENSE.txt in each package instead of assuming it's in
first package.
* sie/api
Fix mcSysInfo Perl API bug in cache code. When --show is used,
only the --show arguments are saved to cache. Next time --show or
--class are used only the previously saved --show arg data is
displayed. Fix is to disable cache save when --show is given.
* sie/class/bios
Include BIOS characteristics in XML output.
* sie/class/device
Fix SID entries for ie, ei, le, ne, qe, pcelx, and elx to be
"ether10m" instead of the invalid "ether" key.
* sie/class/device
Reduce discovery time of hardware on most systems be fixing
DevTreeScan() to not be called more than once.
* sie/class/device
Fix Device Name sanitizing to make add AltName entry for sdX
Aliases.
* sie/class/device
Fix detection of Bus# and BusDev# for disk drives by moving check
of SetBusFromName() to be after DevSanitizeDiskDrive().
* sie/class/device
Rename Device Names to match the official system network interface
name used by ifconfig and netstat. This previously resulted on
HPUX reporting a Device name of 'igelan1' but HPUX only recognized
this device as 'lan1'.
* sie/class/general
The "OS Dist Manufacturer" code will get a default value from "OS
Manufacturer" if no other method succeeds or exists.
* sie/class/general
Fix "OS Distribution Version" to report correct data on Windows 7
and 2008 R2.
* sie/class/general
Fix "CPU Speed" discovery on HPUX 11i v3 IA64 to correctly parse
new machinfo(1) output format.
* sie/class/general
Fix "CPU Count Socketed" on Solaris 9 SPARC to be correct on
certain platforms. We previously ignored psrinfo on < Solaris 10
but the psrinfo now appears valid on Solaris 9 so we now use it on
that OS version.
* sie/class/general
Fix how Boot Time and Up Time are discovered on Linux to use
getutid() first and then fall back to /proc. Previously we used
/proc only which could result in Boot Time values which changed by
1 second in between runs of SysInfo on the same host.
* sie/class/general
Fix segfault error on AIX during discovery of "boot time" and "up
time". Error occured when /etc/utmp was corrupted.
* sie/class/general
Fix CPU Count - Socketed and Physical count on Solaris SPARC
UltraSPARC-IV systems.
* sie/class/general
Fix bug which caused "numcpuoffline" output for report and xml to
be reported when the --show option was used but did not specify to
report "numcpuoffline" (it was shown anyways).
* sie/class/general
Add ability to not report System Serial if the true system serial
is not known when the env var MCSYSINFO_TRUE_SYSSERIAL is set to
"yes". This currently only pertains to Solaris SPARC.
* sie/class/general
Fix "kernbits" on Solaris x64 to properly report "64". Previously
this worked in most cases, but failed on VMware guest instances of
Solaris.
* sie/class/general
Fix "CPU Count Virtual" on HPUX to report single value in format
output. In H56 we introduced a double output in format report.
* sie/class/general
Fix "CPU Count Virtual" on HPUX to report single value in format
output. In H56 we introduced a double output in format report.
* sie/class/general
Fix "CPU Count Virtual" on HPUX to use mpsched as data source.
Previosly no value was reported.
* sie/class/general
Fix "CPU Count - Physical" on certain UltraSPARC-T2 systems. The
hash table used to track "core id" values was too small resulting
in some cores being counted twice.
* sie/class/general
Add support for setting System Man and Model on Linux from
/proc/cpuinfo on PPC.
* sie/class/general
Fix "Kernel Bit Size" on SunOS 5.6 SPARC to report "32" instead of
"64" even on sparcv9 systems.
* sie/class/hardware
Filter DMI strings with '7F7F'.
* sie/class/hardware
Fix loop in Device class data reported on AIX. The DevAdd()
function was auto-creating Parent devices with Name "" (empty).
* sie/class/hardware
Grab DevInfo->Vendor from DevInfo->Model after ATA query. This
code was Linux specific but is applicable to all ATA.
* sie/class/hardware
Add "SATABeast2" to CtlrBlockSize to support proper Capacity
recognition.
* sie/class/hardware
Fix detection of CD + DVD drives on Linux. We now check the
Vendor data from ATA probe for detection.
* sie/class/hardware
Fix hardware reporting on AIX to report vhostX devices even though
they are virtual and not true physical devices.
* sie/class/hardware
Search /sys/devices/ide0 on Linux 2.6 systems for hardware.
* sie/class/hardware
Improve CPU Model detection on Intel X86/X64 CPU's. We now
include lookup in our CPUID db to include the CPU Family value.
If not found, we revert to prior lookup without Family. This
should improve detection of Xeon vs. Core Duo CPU's which often
have the same fingerprint.
* sie/class/hardware
Fix free() of in-use Driver value used in DevInfo and NetIf
classes. Result was occasinally a Driver value being reported
with non-printable bytes.
* sie/class/hardware
Fix CPU Model on certain Solaris X86/X64 based systems to remove
the CPU Mfg and generic words like "CPU".
* sie/class/hardware
Fix memory size on certain Solaris SPARC systems which support
prtfru data to report correct values. In some cases the Capacity
of memory devices were reported as Bytes instead of MB or GB.
* sie/class/hardware
Fix issue on Solaris with certain RAID devices which have dev
alias of "scsiclass,00" from having their Vendor, Model, and other
attributes merged into real/raw disk drives. This fix causes
SysInfo to not look for existing SysInfo discovered devices with
name "scsiclass,00".
* sie/class/hardware
Fix DMI PROC decoding to transform "INTEL" to "Intel" to be
consistant with other sources of "Intel".
* sie/class/hardware
On Linux remove duplicate "psmouse" device.
* sie/class/hardware
Fix forced setting of class ATA on Linux even if class was already
set to SATA.
* sie/class/hardware
Fix incorrect check for Type and TypeClass being set in ATA code.
* sie/class/hardware
Don't autogenerate ethX names on Linux if the Linux version is
2.6.25 or later. This is because in later Linux we can detect the
proper ethX name if the device is working at the Linux kernel
level. If its broken we don't want to autogen the wrong ethX
name.
* sie/class/hardware
Fix Type and TypeClass errors introduced in 9-H4 on Linux. Some
devices where reported as GENERIC or DEVICE where previously they
had been reported as DISKDRIVE or FLOPPY.
* sie/class/hardware
On Linux remove duplicate "psmouse" device.
* sie/class/hardware
Fix reporting of Capacity values on Linux for multi-TB sized
"disk" devices which are on "Perc 6/i" controllers. Previously
these devices were reported with a max Capacity of "2.0 TB" due to
limitations in the SCSI protocol.
* sie/class/hardware
Fix definetions for standard Sun 10Mb netif devices to properly be
reported as such.
* sie/class/hardware
Improve PCI database support for 10Gb network interface devices.

Fix ClassType and Model for "nxge" NetIf on Solaris SPARC to be
consistant with version 8 values.
* sie/class/hardware
Fix TypeClass on Linux of floppy disks to be "FLOPPY" instead of
"ATA".
* sie/class/hardware
Fix Solaris DDB function to properly rename DDB based devices to
have unit number.
* sie/class/hardware
Fix segfault failure on HPUX during Hardware discovery of NetIf
devices due to DevRename() of devices changing the
ProbeData.AliasNames values. Appears to be related to changes
introduced in 9.0.0.
* sie/class/hardware
Set DevInfo->Model and CpuInfo->Model from General.CpuModel if not
yet set in DevSanitize().
* sie/class/hardware
Set DevInfo Model value from CpuInfo if not already set.
* sie/class/license
Fix LicenseDestroy() to work on all known attributes of License_t.
* sie/class/MntInfo

Fix problem with duplicate macaddr being reported on Solaris
systems with eg0000X interface names as well as similar names with
digits after alpha.
* sie/class/netif
Fix internal NetIf class to use NetIfInit().
* sie/class/network
Add ability to correctly identify certain virtual netif devices
like "vnetX" as type VIRTUAL instead of the default value of
PHYSICAL.
* sie/class/partition
Fix Usage reporting of "partition" data on Solaris to report
partitions used by ZFS as "STORVOL" with Manager (new field)
"ZFS". Previouisly ZFS partitions where reported as "UNUSED".
* sie/class/partition
Fix report output for partition class to include the DevPath value
in the Name field for "data" output lines.
* sie/class/partition
Fix partition Size on IA64 EFI partitions under Linux to be
correct MB value.
* sie/class/siteinfo
Fix core dump when siteinfo entry has empty/blank "value" field
due to null deref.
* sie/class/softinfo
The Report V2 function has been changed to use the autogenerated
function for the bulk of the property reporting.
* sie/class/software
Update Description for Category and SubCategory.
* sie/class/software
Fix build dist to include all SDL scripts. Many where
accidentially left out.
* sie/class/software
Force the "Installed Date" (InstDate) field for Software to always
be in format MM/DD/YYYY. This insures proper reporting on all
platforms and corrects the UI defect of reporting "1969" as
install dates in some cases/platforms.
* sie/class/software
Improve filtering of SoftInfo->Version on Windows.
* sie/class/software
Improve duplicate elimination of Software products on Windows.
* sie/class/software
Improve cleaning of software Name values to remove Version if it
appears inside of Name not just at the end of Name as before.
* sie/class/software
Fix bug in software discovery on AIX which can lead to infinite
loop of discovered packages. This occurs when we auto create a
package for a new pkg's parent without a Version for the parent
and then later we re-add the parent with a Version. We now update
the internal hashtables in this case.
* sie/class/software
Avoid reporting duplicate software entries for packages/products
which have no Version. In particular the "System/YaST" PRODUCT on
SLED 11 was being reported multiple times.
* sie/class/software
Don't truncate software package names which have "NNNANNN"
(N=number, A=alpha) patterns. This is true with certain Oracle
packages on Solaris.

Fix segfault on MacOS due to casting issue in printing debug
output for ProcID. New bug in 9.0.0.
* sie/class/software
Fix SoftInfo discovery on AIX to use lslpp output instead of ODM.
This improves reliability and consistancy at a small performance
cost.
* sie/class/storvol
Fix memory corruption issue on aixlvm on systems with 20 or more
volume groups as listed by "lsvg".
* sie/class/storvol
Fix missing vxvm support which was accidentially removed in a
prior release on Solaris, HPUX, and AIX.
* sie/class/StorVol
Remove "(MB)" from Descripton fields of various StorVol
attributes.
* sie/cli
Insure that --encode xml output is always output in alphabetical
by Name order. This is required in order to be compliant with
SysInfoV2.xsd.
* sie/cli
The order classes are listed with --class are now the order the
data is reported in. Previously the order was fixed.
* sie/core
Fix Date functions to use sizeof() instead of LengthW(). This
could cause some date strings not to be parsed.
* sie/core
Fix DirFind() and Find() functions to work on Windows.
* sie/core
Improve general performance by adding additional checks in the
messaging layer debug functions to determine as early as possible
if debug is enabled and if not stop processing the debug message.
* sie/core
Enable earlier debug messages by checking for new
MCSYSINFO_DEBUG=yes environ var.
* sie/core
Fix several NULL deref bugs in XML output code which resulted in
seg faults.
* sie/core
Fix possible NULL deref in xml output function OutputXmlProp() and
OutputXmlPropW().
* sie/core
Fix Seg Fault when --debug is used and a command run for debug
purposes takes more than 10 seconds to complete on Solaris.
* sie/core
Fix StrSplit() to honor ArgcPtr limits. This fixes a problem on
AIX Patch class parsing which utilizies this. This bug was
introduced in 9.0.0-alpha0.
* sie/encode
Fix XML output to filter reserved chars "&", "<", and ">" to
proper XML values.
* sie/hardware
XML output of CacheInfo is now reported. Previously it was not
output in XML.
* sie/report
Fix report output for wide data to print "name" field if the Name
(narrow) data member is empty. We now correctly check NameW to see
if it's set.
* sie/report
Fix ReportDataW() with R_PROP to always output Ident field.
Previously this field was not output if Ident or Name was empty.
This needs to always be output to be consistant with narrow
function ReportData().
* ui/class/software
Don't set date for InstDate and BuildDate since this should be
done in sie now.
============ VERSION 9-GA (2009/03/27) ============
######## NEW FEATURES ########
* class/hardware
Update SMBIOS support to 2.6.0.
* class/hardware
Add new CpuInfo attributes CoreCount, CoreEnabledCount, and
ThreadCount. Currently only supported via SMBIOS 2.5+.
* doc/RefMan
Document new Process class.
* doc/ReleaseNotes
Add support for SLES 11.0.
* doc/ReleaseNotes
Re-write Supported System Matrix to make it easier to determine
what Classes and features are supported on each platform.
* sie/class/general
Implement new "Chassis Serial Number" attribute for class General.
This value is usually only reported on Blade systems. On Blade
systems Chassis Serial is the serial of the enclosure and System
Serial is the serial of the Blade card. On non Blade systems
Chassis Serial is not reported. Currently Chassis Serial is only
available on systems which support IPMI access to Baseboard
Management Cards (BMC's).
* sie/class/hardware
Enhance Monitor_t data with MinVerRefresh, MaxVerRefresh,
MinHorRefresh, MaxHorRefresh, and MaxPixelClock values. These
were previously reported as "DESC" data.
* sie/class/hardware
Look at CPUID Intel and AMD data to set CpuInfo CoreCount and
ThreadCount.
* sie/class/vmguest
Improve VmGuest detection of VMware software to support VMware
Server 2.0.
######## BUG FIXES ########
* sie/class/device
Fix bug in SMBIOS decoding of memory devices where MEMDEV and
MEMMOD devices discovery could overwrite each other. This can
result in some memory devices not reporting all possible
properties such as "Speed". Under some circumstances extra
memoryX devices could also be reported which are actually
duplicates. This could occur if --class general,device are run
together. It's also limited to a select number of SMBIOS
configurations.
* sie/class/general
Fix PrimaryUserName and PrimaryUserLogin to work on Solaris and
other systems which have wtmpx but not wtmp.
* sie/class/general
Fix primaryusername and primaryuserlogin on systems which have
getutxent() and getutent() to not use these interfaces since they
read utmp and not wtmp.
* sie/class/general
Fix "Kernel Version" on Linux to remove newline if present at end
of string.
* sie/class/hardware
Avoid setting memory Vendor and similar attributes if the DIMM
socket is determined to be empty. Applies to SMBIOS MEMARRAY
devices.
* sie/class/hardware
Fix Hardware discovery problems which could result with
incorrectly Parent devices and other strange results due to
DevFind() looking for NodeID <= 0 instead of NodeID == 0. We also
now enforce use of DevFindInit() in DevFind(). Fixes at least one
issue with bad Parent reporting on Solaris SPARC.
* sie/class/hardware
Fix CacheInfo for L1d and L2 on MacOS to not be a copy of L1i data
due to typo.
* sie/class/hardware
Fix SMBIOS handling of PORT devices to use SMBIOS Internal
location as device name which provides much closer matching to
previously discovered devices such as usbX devices. This results
in greater attribute reporting for these devices as well.
* sie/class/hardware
Fix Unit values for SMBIOS device types BIOS, SYSBOARD, ENCLOSURE,
MEMARRAY, MEMCTL, PROC, and SLOT to be consistant for each device
Type. Previously a device's Unit could change depending on if how
many internal functions searched SMBIOS devices each call
incrementing the Unit value for the next scan of SMBIOS.
* sie/class/software
Fix use of uninitialized variable in SDL intepretor in
SdlDataTypeArrayStr(). Not tied to reports of any failures.
============ VERSION 7.1.0-alpha0 (2007/01/01) ============

Enhance method for "CPU Count - Physical" on Solaris to first try
psrinfo which correctly returns count on multi-core SPARC systems
like the T1000.
* sie/class/hardware
Fix bug which prevented canonical device names defined in .sid
files from being set. Bug introduced in 7.0.0.
* sie/class/hardware
On Windows systems we now skip getting free disk space data on
disk devices which have removable media. If we don't do this then
Windows will popup a dialog box for the user if no media is
loaded. When this happens SysInfo is forced to wait until the
dialog is closed.
* sie/class/hardware
Add check for $MCSYSINFO_DDC_VBE in Linux BuildDDC() to allow user
to disable DDC VBE probe.
* sie/class/hardware
Fix Linux setting of ATA disk drive Capacity values to use /proc
data over disk geometry. This is what we previously did in 6.0 and
earlier. We also now set DevInfo->CapacityNum in the ATA probe.

Don't cache configure vars relating to product version since we
often update hotfix data in these vars.
* class/filesys
If an NFS mount is hung, SysInfo now times out instead of hanging.
This is implemented via new "mntinfo" driver which performs all
statvfs/statfs calls which are the calls which block when an NFS
mount is hung.
* class/storsys
Fix rare core dump in nafiler due to NULL deref.
* doc/ReleaseNotes
Update release notes to doc Sun X64 serial number support.
* gui
Fix GUI's Report tool to work once again. It was previously

If a FULL product license exists, do not auto-create any feature
licenses such as for StorSys Pro. This reduces user confusion.
* mcsysinfod
Fix SysInfo Agent such that it fully divorces itself from the
process (shell, init, setup, etc) which invoked it. This fixes a
problem where SSH would hang if it was used to invoke the setup
installer or if it ran /etc/init.d/mcsysinfo.
* setup
Fix setup meter progress bar to not reprint entire line to improve
performance and reduce overhead. We also no longer use the meter
bar if --debug is given.
* sie/class/filesys
Fix FileSys, PartInfo, and Hardware class to not hang if an NFS
mount is hung. We have moved the statvfs()/statfs() calls which
block on hung NFS mounts into a new driver program called mntinfo.
SIE now calls mntinfo and parses it's output for all file system
related data. If mntinfo hangs SIE will time-out and kill mntinfo
then continue. This fix also contains fixes for Cmd_t time-outs
to work when the child process blocks.

Fix Primary User utmp code to build on MacOS 10.4.x.
* sie/class/general
Correctly report "1" as the value for "CPU Count Physical" on
multi-core SPARC systems T1000 and T2000. We previously reported
the core count as the Physical count.
* sie/class/general
Fix OS Dist Version discovery on Solaris to first use uname(2) and
parse the "release" value. This works even when Solaris is run on
a non-FCS release which may use a code-name for the Solaris
version instead of a number.
* sie/class/general
Avoid possible hang on AIX when obtaining "OS Version" using the
oslevel command by using Cmd_t interface without a 60 second
timeout.
* sie/class/general
Fix reporting of "Number of CPUs (Physical)" on AIX systems with
LPAR (hardware partitioning) to use LPAR provided value. This
means we now report the true physical CPU count.
* sie/class/hardware
Fix the BitSize reported for Intel CPUs to be based on the Kernel
Bit Size rather than hardcoding "32" for most CPUs which is
incorrect in lite of EM64T.
* sie/class/hardware
Fix MacOS hardware discovery code to build disklabel code only if
available. This data is not available on MacOS 10.4 and later.
* sie/class/hardware
Edit DevInfo Model strings to remove quote at end of strings on
Solaris systems when we use the DDB database.

Fix bug in Sun hardware OBP code which results in random core
dumps on newer platforms like the T1000. Problem was due to use
of wrong probe function being set for OBPprobeCPU.
* sie/class/hardware
Detect and fix when a hardware entry lists itself as it's own
master. This can cause the GUI to die in a loop if left
untreated.
* sie/class/hardware
Fix hardware class bug on AIX resulting in incomplete device
reporting.
* sie/class/hardware
If a device Model contains "CD-RW/DVD-ROM X1234" remove the full
"CD-RW/DVD-ROM" instead of leaving "/DVD-ROM" in string. We also
give preference to classify such devices as DVD instead of CD now.
* sie/class/hardware
Fix DMI handling of memory speed, mfg, serial, and part number
such that these values are only used if the DMI header length is
large enough to indicate these fields are present.
* sie/class/hardware
Fix incorrect speed of network interfaces on Windows by ignoring
bogus values obtained via NDIS.
* sie/class/license
Fix flexlm probe code to initialize MCSIquery_t structure prior to
each use.

Fix bug in MemToWide() function which resulted in missing software
packages being reported when --widechar was enabled and RPM was
used as data source.
* sie/class/Software
Fix bug in AIX Software discovery where by the BaseDir of each
package was never reported due to lack of data from ODM. We now
calculate BaseDir based on the most common directory of all files
in a package.
* sie/class/software
Fix core dump on Solaris when Software is being discovered. Bug
was due to insufficient buffer for child (Slave) names in
reportsoftinfo.c and insufficient buffer size detection.
* sie/class/software
Fix Software discovery on HPUX to properly allocate memory for
Revision, BaseDir, and VendorName instead of using same memory.
This caused problems if SoftwareDestroy() was called.

######## OTHER CHANGES ########
* Misc
Model="OPEN*" since this is a SAN server. The result is disk
devices from this type of system are now correctly reported.
============ VERSION 5.1.3-GA (2005/03/10) ============
######## NEW FEATURES ########
* sie/class/storvol
Add driver to support Solaris Volume Manager and older Solstice
DiskSuite.
######## BUG FIXES ########
* install
If the user installs the "noui" product distribution and does not
specify "--format report" print an error which spells out they
need "--format report" or should install the "Full" product
distribution.
* sie
" at the begging of each debug output line by default.
* sie/core
Fix incorrect handling of changing our real UID to 0 when
executing some external OS commands.
* sie/driver/all
Nearly all drivers never properly based their ProgramName onto the
message functions which resulted in no program name being
displayed in some error and debug messages.
* sie/license
Improve DEMO license message for storsys-pro to state implicitly
that the DEMO license is not for SysInfo base, but this optional
feature.
* sie/platform/hpux
Fix device names for disk drives to be "cXtXdX" instead of
"diskX".
* sie/platform/linux
Fix to make DMI retrieval of hardware info work on Linux 2.6.6 and
later IA64 systems.
* sie/platform/linux
Fix bug which could result in "0 Bytes" being reported for "System
Memory". This usually occurs on Linux 2.6 IA64 systems.
* sie/platform/linux
On Linux 2.6 systems we now query block devices such as /dev/sdX
directly instead of using /dev/sgX since the later is deprecated
as of 2.6 and not always present. Previous to this fix on many
2.6 systems we reported no SCSI disks.
* sie/platform/linux
Reduce size of PCI device data read from 256 to 64 bytes in order
to avoid hanging poorly compliant devices such as the PCI bus on
Dell 6650 servers.
* sie/platform/mac
Update system model definetions for Apple Mac's.
* sie/platform/sun
Add "FJSV,pgtb-fjgi" netif entry to sunos.cf.
* sie/platform/sun
Add support for Solaris 10 on SPARC and X86.
* sie/platform/sun
Use libdevinfo(3) to get "Cpu Model" on Solaris X86 systems (and
SPARC). We previously reported no value for "Cpu Model" on
Solaris X86.
* sie/platform/sun
Improve device identification by using new PCI VendorID and
DeviceID data made available via libdevinfo with Solaris 10.
* sie/platform/sun
Fix core dump problem on Solaris 10 X86 systems when probing for
hardware. Bug was in code trying to set CpuInfo->BitSize.
* sie/wrapper
If "--show" and "--format report" are both given call SIE directly
since the UI layer cannot handle this combination.
* ui/wrapper
" label to beginning of all debug output lines. Also capture $0
as $ProgramName and re-use $ProgramName to avoid $0 changing.
============ VERSION 5.1.2-GA (2005/02/14) ============
######## NEW FEATURES ########
* doc/UserGuide
Add chapter on SiteInfo data.
######## BUG FIXES ########
* build
Fix problem with configure getting wrong $objdir value on Linux
systems. It was being set to "linux-X.X-x86" where it should be
"$osdist-X-x86".
* class/hardware
Fix DMI decoding of CACHE size to work properly with larger cache
size values (>= 1MB).
* sie/class/storsys
Fix storsys drivers to directly check for "nodemo" option in .cfg
files so that the option works when "--format report" is
specified.
* sie/core
Fix rpm(1) command to be run as user in order to avoid rpm hangs
common when rpm is run as root. This fix also fixes a common bug
with running external commands with excessive privs.
* sie/platform/sun
Fix bug which resulted in some devices being incorrectly attached
to the wrong parent device. Bug was in new libdevinfo(7) code
introduced in 5.1.
* sie/platform/sun
Fix problem caused by Solaris 8 SPARC patch which results in
internal disks on systems such as the Sun Fire V880 to no longer
be discovered. Part of this fix also includes using device names
obtained from libdevinfo(7) in preference to our own device name
database. This will more align reported device names with the
names used by the Solaris kernel.
* sie/platform/sun
Fix LDI code on Solaris to implement correct decoding of CPU speed
values obtained via LDI. We were reporting significantly
incorrect speed values on newer, higher speed CPU's.
* ui
Fix '--format report' cache bug which caused the cache file path
under /tmp to not include the product version.
* ui/cli
Add $cfdir as set by "configure --with-cfdir=..." (at build time)
to the list of dirs to search for .cfg files.
* ui/cli
Fix things so that "--nodemo" actually works. The
initial/previous patch only partially implemented this feature.
* ui/html
Fix HTML output of Software class data not to be mixed with other
class data.
* ui/html
Don't display class title for classes which have no data to
present.
* ui/html
Fix bug causing output to be mixed and repeated when reporting on
multiple classes simultaneously encoded as html.
* ui/html
Fix title of reports to correctly contain hostname report refers
to.
* ui/html
Fix bottom of report to correctly provide version of SysInfo which
produced report.

* sie/class/hardware
Add new database of USB vendors/devices IDs which are currently
used for Linux hardware discovery.
* sie/class/hardware
Devices are now listed in sorted (alpha) order instead of the

still marked as PKG.
* sie/class/software
Add support for decoding and reporting Adobe License Key (Serial#)
values.
* sie/class/software
Improve editing of Software Name values to remove Version. We now
look to match SoftInfo->Version and SoftInfo->Name for "{digit}.".

used in Name.
* sie/class/software
Add discovery and reporting of OS Install Time in the SoftInfo OS
entry under "InstDate". Supported on Windows only for now.
* sie/class/software
Create a SoftInfo entry for the OS itself. The SoftInfo entry is
usually the root (top) node of the software tree and as such will
(usually) be reported first. It also has a Category of "OS" to
identify it. Some of the information is a duplicate of what is
reported in class General. However, more subtle attributes going
forward will be reported in the SoftInfo entry.
* sie/class/software
Report License Key values for Microsoft products including Office.

Fix install tools on Linux x64 to be native 64-bit instead of
32-bit. This allows for installation on Linux 64-bit systems
which have no 32-bit libraries installed.
* install
Fix installer to work on Fedora 5 and later. Newer OS which use
the latest GNU coreutils don't accept "tail +N" by default.
* install
Fix Windows installer to wait for uninstall of existing product to
complete prior to installing. We were previosly deleting as we
were installing which resulted in an unusable installation.

Change server such that a SEND command giving multiple class types
to return is run as a single result instead of once per class.
This allows XML results for multiple classes to be contained
within a single ... body.
* mcsysinfod
Fix SysInfo Agent such that it fully divorces itself from the
process (shell, init, setup, etc) which invoked it. This fixes a
problem where SSH would hang if it was used to invoke the setup
installer or if it ran /etc/init.d/mcsysinfo.

Fix bug resulting in the first set of requested class data being
reported, but most of remaining classes not being reported. Bug
appears mainly on Solaris 10. Problem was use of fclose() on a
popen()'ed file handle. Changed to pclose().
* mcsysinfod
Fix several possible problems with incomplete data being provided
due to improper terminatation of SIE. No reported problems.
* mcsysinfod
Use /tmp/mcsysinfod.cache instead of /var/tmp/mcsysinfocache to be
consistant with UI caching into /tmp/mcsysinfo.cache.$UID.
* misc
Fix mcsysinfomotd to use '%' instead of '@' to avoid autoconfigure
substitution problems. We also now include the OS name and
version in /etc/motd.
* platform/freebsd
Update minimum supported FreeBSD version to be 5.2 due to bugs in
vswprintf() in FreeBSD 5.0 and 5.1. These bugs caused segfaults

Fix bug causing for() loops to not work when called more than
once.
* sdl
Fix several memory corruption bugs caused by free'ing the same

Fix setup to check for new PrivRequired in each package to
determine if we should warn about whether install is being done
without root privs.
* setup
Don't prompt for license file install for mcsysinfo-sdk and
mcsysinfo-javasdk.
* setup
Look for LICENSE.txt in each package instead of assuming it's in
first package.
* setup
Fix setup meter progress bar to not reprint entire line to improve
performance and reduce overhead. We also no longer use the meter
bar if --debug is given.
* setup
Shell commands during setup (and potentially during sysinfo
runtime) were falsely marked failed when setup was run by root (or
any uid==0 user). The result was setup would abort for no
apparant reason or indicate it was unable to check disk space.
* setup
Need to properly edit @ProdVersion@ during setup install in order
to use proper /tmp cache directory and others.
* sie
" at the begging of each debug output line by default.
* sie
Fix debug message "Executing" to be "Running" in shlib in order to
make debugging more consistant.
* sie/api
Fix mcSysInfo Perl API bug in cache code. When --show is used,
only the --show arguments are saved to cache. Next time --show or
--class are used only the previously saved --show arg data is
displayed. Fix is to disable cache save when --show is given.
* sie/build
Add missing Solaris files to source tarball.
* sie/class/bios
Fix BIOS to report OBP info on Solaris 10 SPARC.
* sie/class/bios
Include BIOS characteristics in XML output.
* sie/class/core
Move check for running as uid=0 from sie to mcsiwrapper.
* sie/class/core
Major changes to how Cmd handles environment variables.
Consolidated internally handling of env for Cmd functions. Use
stripped env when running commands as uid=0. When Cmd does not
need to be run WithPriv use the original effective uid (running
user's) or user nobody as last resort.
* sie/class/core
Replace use of popen() with Cmd in order to restrict env vars and
run with appropriate privs.
* sie/class/core
Implement multiple levels of timestamp on debug messages. Set
MCSYSINFO_DEBUG_TIMESTAMP to "0" (no timestamp), "1" (time only),
or "2" (date + time).
* sie/class/device
Fix bug causing corruption of boot label of /dev/vdX devices on
Linux. These devices do not support SCSI queries but need extra
checks to avoid SCSI query (SID "SCSIdriverIgnore" key).
Implemented general check for "vd" driver to avoid SCSI query.
Also more carefully check SCSI query version result and not try
SCSI query if version == 0 or the version inquiry fails.
* sie/class/device
Change method of finding existing devices from searching
recursively through device tree to using a much faster hash table.
This significantly speeds up device discovery on systems with
thousands of devices.
* sie/class/device
Improve filter of CPU names to remove "()" and "(null)"
* sie/class/device
Fix problem with CPU's with no cache not being reported when they
should be.
* sie/class/device
Implement fix for SMBIOS which report the same Serial for
ENCLOSURE and SYSBOARD. In such a case the Serial is cleared from
SYSBOARD so that a dup error is not triggered when adding the
SYSBOARD device.
* sie/class/device
Improve debug messages for SCSI query on linux.
* sie/class/device
Update SMBIOS handling of MEMDEV to use ExtSize attribute when
present and per SMBIOS standard.
* sie/class/device
Fix rare SEGV when building device stat info of /dev on Solaris.
In certain cases a timer was left running when a stat failed.
When that timer was triggered unexpectedly it would cause a SEGV.
* sie/class/device
Fix bug causing only 1 "cpuX" device to be reported on x86/x64
systems. This was caused by a fix introduced after 10-H34 to
consistantly report cpuX devices using an internal hash table for
caching.
* sie/class/device
Add support for "vda" diskdrive devices as found with certain
VMware products running on Linux x86/x64.
* sie/class/device
Data from SMBIOS (primarly on VM guests) may report bad data for
CPU Cache size. We now override SMBIOS Cache size values with
CPUID values when available.
* sie/class/device
Make sure all Device Vendor values of "AuthenticAMD" are reported
as "AMD" and "GenuineIntel" are reported as "Intel".
* sie/class/device
Fix reporting of Serial# of some devices on MacOSX (e.g. DVD) to
be reported.
* sie/class/device
Fix reporting of Device attribute "desc" entries on MacOS to not
be truncated at first word if they contain a SPACE in their name.
* sie/class/device
Add the SpeedNum (numeric CPU Speed) field as the last field of
device|cpuinfo lines.
* sie/class/device
Add 15-sec timeout when reading DOS partition info. Previously no
timeout was set.
* sie/class/device
Fix CpuInfo->Arch on HPUX to be consistant with class General's
CpuType.
* sie/class/device
Fix class Device and Network on Windows to use the same Index
value provided by Windows to name NetIf devices. This allows
consistant reporting between the two classes.
* sie/class/device
Fix SID entries for ie, ei, le, ne, qe, pcelx, and elx to be
"ether10m" instead of the invalid "ether" key.
* sie/class/device
Reduce discovery time of hardware on most systems be fixing
DevTreeScan() to not be called more than once.
* sie/class/device
Fix Device Name sanitizing to make add AltName entry for sdX
Aliases.
* sie/class/device
Fix detection of Bus# and BusDev# for disk drives by moving check
of SetBusFromName() to be after DevSanitizeDiskDrive().
* sie/class/device
Rename Device Names to match the official system network interface
name used by ifconfig and netstat. This previously resulted on
HPUX reporting a Device name of 'igelan1' but HPUX only recognized
this device as 'lan1'.
* sie/class/device
Fix bug in SMBIOS decoding of memory devices where MEMDEV and
MEMMOD devices discovery could overwrite each other. This can
result in some memory devices not reporting all possible
properties such as "Speed". Under some circumstances extra
memoryX devices could also be reported which are actually
duplicates. This could occur if --class general,device are run
together. It's also limited to a select number of SMBIOS
configurations.
* sie/class/device
Add "Speed (MHz)" numeric value for CPU's to report output as
alternative to "Speed" for UI's.
* sie/class/filesys
Fix filesys to report Size for "swap" entries on Linux.
* sie/class/filesys
Fix FileSys and Partition code to more accurately report
filesystem size and usage by using the same GNU method (fsusage)
as the GNU df(1) command.
* sie/class/filesys
On Windows do not run mntinfo driver with --debug as stdout is
mixed with stderr.
* sie/class/filesys
Fix FileSys, PartInfo, and Hardware class to not hang if an NFS
mount is hung. We have moved the statvfs()/statfs() calls which
block on hung NFS mounts into a new driver program called mntinfo.
SIE now calls mntinfo and parses it's output for all file system
related data. If mntinfo hangs SIE will time-out and kill mntinfo
then continue. This fix also contains fixes for Cmd_t time-outs
to work when the child process blocks.
* sie/class/general
Fix "CPU Model" on HPUX Itanium to include "2" if CPU is "Itanium
2".
* sie/class/general
Fix "Memory Size" calc when using SMBIOS MEMDEV dimms which have
ExtSize attribute. This bug was part of previous problem not
reporting correct size of such dimms.
* sie/class/general
Fix "System Model" on Solaris SPARC to source model from
"banner-name" prop in LDI if available. Adjust overall model
value filtering to not convert dash to SPACE whenever a SPACE is
already present in model.
* sie/class/general
Fix reporting of "OS Dist Name" on Solaris 10 U11 and later which
should report value as "solaris" but was reporting "oracle".
* sie/class/general
Fix DMI null deref bug when SysInfo is run as non-root.
* sie/class/general
Add Sun model entry for "ORCL_SPARC64-X" to use OBP banner for
model.
* sie/class/general
Fix "CPU Speed" on certain Solaris SPARC systems which reported
very large values far in excess of possibility. The problem was
in the use of 32-bit values obtained from OBP. We now ignore such
values and use kstat data.
* sie/class/general
Add support for recognizing Oracle Enterprise Linux (OEL) as OS
Distribution.
* sie/class/general
On AIX add the ability to use the "Entitled Capacity" value from
lparstat in place of "Active Physical CPUs" via the
CpuCountPhysLparEntitled config option and
MCSYSINFO_CPUCOUNTPHYS_LPAR_ENTITLED=yes env option.
* sie/class/general
Add OS Dist definitions for MacOS 10.9 and 10.10.
* sie/class/general
Add code names Mavericks and Yosemite for MacOS.
* sie/class/general
Add "OS Dist Man" support for CentOS.
* sie/class/general
Fix bug in General when getting the OS update level on AIX that
sometimes caused SysInfo to fail. Bug was due to a timer not
being turned off when running oslevel.
* sie/class/general
Fix "Kernel Version" use of uninitialized value.
* sie/class/general
Fix CPU Speed reporting for General and Hardware to use 2 digit
precision when possible and only if last digit is not zero.
* sie/class/general
Fix CPU Speed to be set from CPUID Brand string if not available
via other methods.
* sie/class/general
Fix "kernver" (class General) to work on HPUX IA64 systems by
using machinfo as alternate source.
* sie/class/general
Add runtime reporting in debug for Primary User functions
involving wtmp.
* sie/class/general
Fix "Kernel Bits" on Solaris 10 x86 to correctly report "32" bit
on 32-bit systems.

Add support for "OS Update Level" for Solaris and SuSe Linux.
* sie/class/general
Fix "Kernel Version" on Solaris not to display "System V" portion
on Solaris 8 and later.
* sie/class/general
Fix OS Distribution discovery on SuSe and Novell Linux to use
/etc/SuSE-release and /etc/novell-release to get more reliable
results.
* sie/class/general
Fix "hostid" to filter out leading "ff" chars which can occur on
Linux sometimes.
* sie/class/general
Fix "OS Dist" on MacOS to return something like "Mac OS X 10.4.7
Tiger" instead of the POSIX standard compliance number like
"199505". Fix "OS Distribution Version" to include the Apple name
for the release as the second argument. e.g. "10.4.7 Tiger".
* sie/class/general
Fix "CPU Count Socketed" on Mac Intel to work based on CoreCount
and sysctl() physical CPU count.
* sie/class/general
Fix "CPU Speed" on Mac Intel to report the same consistent "x.yz"
value as Hardware instead of "x.y".
* sie/class/general
Fix "CPU Speed" discovery on HPUX 11i v3 IA64 to correctly parse
new machinfo(1) output format.
* sie/class/general
Fix "CPU Model" discovery on HPUX to use data from machinfo.
* sie/class/general
Fix "Kernel Bits" to show 64 on 64-bit Windows.
* sie/class/general
Fix Primary User discovery on Solaris which sometimes may cause a
seg fault or report incorrect data. Failure can occur when we
directly read wtmp/wtmpx files. We have re-activated support for
using getutent()/getutxent() but now we use utmpname()/utmpxname()
to specify the wtmp/wtmpx file we want to read. Additional error
checking/validation is also performed for all wtmp/wtmpx methods.
* sie/class/general
The "OS Dist Manufacturer" code will get a default value from "OS
Manufacturer" if no other method succeeds or exists.
* sie/class/general
Fix "OS Distribution Version" to report correct data on Windows 7
and 2008 R2.
* sie/class/general
Fix "CPU Speed" discovery on HPUX 11i v3 IA64 to correctly parse
new machinfo(1) output format.
* sie/class/general
Fix "CPU Count Socketed" on Solaris 9 SPARC to be correct on
certain platforms. We previously ignored psrinfo on < Solaris 10
but the psrinfo now appears valid on Solaris 9 so we now use it on
that OS version.
* sie/class/general
Fix how Boot Time and Up Time are discovered on Linux to use
getutid() first and then fall back to /proc. Previously we used
/proc only which could result in Boot Time values which changed by
1 second in between runs of SysInfo on the same host.
* sie/class/general
Fix segfault error on AIX during discovery of "boot time" and "up
time". Error occured when /etc/utmp was corrupted.
* sie/class/general
Fix CPU Count - Socketed and Physical count on Solaris SPARC
UltraSPARC-IV systems.
* sie/class/general
Fix bug which caused "numcpuoffline" output for report and xml to
be reported when the --show option was used but did not specify to
report "numcpuoffline" (it was shown anyways).
* sie/class/general

and have sysinfowrap set LD_LIBRARY_PATH (and equiv)
appropriately. This allows for use of perl compiled
shared/dynamic. This also removes the $PerlVersion hard coding in
sysinfowrap previously used on MacOSX.
* sie/wrapper
Fix SetPrivs() to allow non-root setuid() to be permitted.
* sie/wrapper
Instead of using command line perl script to determine perl -I
args, write the script to a file and then run that file. This is
required for Windows which doesn't handle perl code on the command
line.
* sie/wrapper
If "--show" and "--format report" are both given call SIE directly
since the UI layer cannot handle this combination.
* srcdist
Include mcsysinfod/StartupParameters.plist in source
distributions.
* ui
Improve wrapper to provide more baseline information to other
parts of build process.
* ui
Translate 'device' to 'hardware' when specified with --class.
This insures proper handling by mcSysInfo().
* ui
Fix various typos in Perl code which resulted in perl warnings
when run with 'strict' checks.
* ui
Fix reporting of NetIf addresses to be INET4 instead of INET6 for
backwards compat.
* ui
Remove '%' chars from debug and CLI output messages to avoid perl
barfing on it when used in printf().
* ui
Remove ",*" from vendor names when building a device summary.
* ui
Do not refer to ".." for "use lib" calls in sysinfoui as this can
lead to a significant performance hit if we are run in $HOME and
/home is automounted.
* ui
Fix Hardware summary line to include device Status.
* ui
Fix '--format report' cache bug which caused the cache file path
under /tmp to not include the product version.
* ui/class/software
Don't set date for InstDate and BuildDate since this should be
done in sie now.
* ui/cli
Add $cfdir as set by "configure --with-cfdir=..." (at build time)
to the list of dirs to search for .cfg files.
* ui/cli
Fix things so that "--nodemo" actually works. The
initial/previous patch only partially implemented this feature.
* ui/cli
Fix StorSys CLI reporting to include disk drives which were not
previously displayed as they should have been.
* ui/cli
Fix Storage System summary line in CLI output to include
ModelDesc.
* ui/core
Fix problem with fatal error during startup if there is a copy of
sysinfo installed as /opt/sysinfo and another installed elsewhere.
The later copy will fail with perl errors because we were looking
at the /opt/sysinfo copy when we shouldn't.
* ui/gui
Fix problem with File -> Open... resulting in error + stack trace.
* ui/gui
Fix bug which caused sysinfo GUI to run system out of memory when
displaying "software" class info.
* ui/gui
Fix Windows SysInfo icon to remove extraneous white noise around
edges.
* ui/GUI
Fix bug preventing some errors from being displayed in popup error
window.
* ui/GUI
Remove distracting "Nothing more to retrieve" messages from GUI
message panel.
* ui/GUI
Remove unnecessary "print" option from GUI's Help -> Diag Info
window.
* ui/GUI
Fix "Browse..." popup windows for Report and Diag to be a "Save
as" diaglog instead of an "Open" dialog. Set initial starting
directory and file types.
* ui/GUI
Set window icon for all popup window types.
* ui/gui
Insure that the product version gets passed down into the UI Cache
functions for use in the cache pathname. Previously it was not,
although the CLI worked fine.
* ui/GUI
Fix problem where by when the GUI exits (such as due to a user
request for exit), the windows would shut down, but the process
would never actually exit. This is some kind of Tk bug which we
now workaround.
* ui/GUI
Fix bug which caused user to always be prompted to accept license
in GUI on startup. Problem was we needed to mkdir
$HOME/.mcsysinfo if it doesn't exist.
* ui/html
Fix HTML output of Software class data not to be mixed with other
class data.
* ui/html
Don't display class title for classes which have no data to
present.
* ui/html
Fix bug causing output to be mixed and repeated when reporting on
multiple classes simultaneously encoded as html.
* ui/html
Fix title of reports to correctly contain hostname report refers
to.
* ui/html
Fix bottom of report to correctly provide version of SysInfo which
produced report.
* ui/mcsysinfocfg
When comparing mcsysinfo.cfg variables with command line option
equivilents, ignore case.
* ui/wrapper
" label to beginning of all debug output lines. Also capture $0
as $ProgramName and re-use $ProgramName to avoid $0 changing.
* wrapper
Fix wrapper to handle being invoked as a symlink as was possible
with pre-6.0 versions.
